Recent workshops

On this page, we take the opportunity to show images from our most recent workshops.  Click the menu below or scroll down to view.  The 2025 programme is well underway but if you are feeling inspired, now is a good time to think about joining PACS to take advantage of membership discounts on workshops.  The current programme was launched at the AGM in November 2024 and dates for the 2026 programme have already been set.  Workshop bookings are being added now so don’t miss out.

Our workshop coordinator emails members in advance of the booking facility being open, and non-members will have the opportunity to book any spare places shortly afterwards.  There is also a reserves list, so if the workshop you are interested in is fully booked you can register your interest and if a place comes available you may be contacted.  It is first come, first served.

october 2025 - linda mills - willow christmas tree

A small group took all the available places on Linda Mills “Willow Christmas Tree” workshop.  Linda ran a demonstration of her basket weaving talents earlier this year.  At this workshop all the participants crafted a Christmas tree from willow sticks – just in time for the festive season.  You can see from the photos that the group enjoyed the event, and all produced  beautiful tree.

Sept 2025 - BETHANY MILAM - PAINTING ATMOSPHERIC SKIES

Everyone had fun with clouds at the Acrylics workshop run by Bethany Milam. She introduced us to the different cloud types and their typical characteristics. Since most of us had done sunsets before we all agreed to focus on a large storm cloud for the rest of the day. Despite the stormy subject we all chilled out!
